Be aware that there is some in english. Please be kind to us. I should have not share the links if I knew it would have turned out that way. We did it for the fans in France. We don't talk english very much in France. That way the french fans had a better way to understand.

I'm waiting for the day when the english-speaking countries realize it wouldn't hurt them either to know some other language in addition to english.I'm waiting for the day french people learn english. Okey, just kidding. Not. I am.
Actually, I think that every country should teach their kids at least one foreign language. (+ english)

Re: Troll Sum 41
United Kingdom does teach foreign languages. Personally, I didn't bother, I didn't see the point. For the amount of time I leave English speaking territory it won't be any use for me.X^2 wrote:I'm waiting for the day when the english-speaking countries realize it wouldn't hurt them either to know some other language in addition to english.I'm waiting for the day french people learn english.

Re: Troll Sum 41
WTF? So it's not mandatory then??? In most European countries you cannot choose, you are obligated to learn one foreign language. It's interesting to see how the UK tends to cop out of everything European.Boni Boy Blue wrote:United Kingdom does teach foreign languages. Personally, I didn't bother, I didn't see the point.

Re: Troll Sum 41
Never liked French, however since I have two latin mother languagues and I'm pretty decent with italian, I'm able to understand most of it. El francès escrit és com el català, pero hi ha petites diferencies.

That's just untrue. Languages are mandatory in schools up until the age of 15 (ish). It's just that 95% of British people will never professionally use any of the languages they have learned, because they choose either to remain in Britain, or travel to another English-speaking country. The UK is completely seperate from the rest of Europe politically and geographically, which means it's as useful to learn French as it is to learn Russian, Arabic or Mandarin. Probably less useful, actually. The only reason we learn it in schools up until 15 is as a 'starter language' so we gain the skills necessary to learn more languages in the future.carr wrote:WTF?

And about the UK 'copping out of everything European' - we've benefited massively from doing so. If we relinquished the pound, we would be in the same financial shitstorm as the rest of Europe. As it happens, out politicians showed sense and stayed out of it.

Re: Troll Sum 41
No, it is mandatory, I just skipped, if not all, classes. Had more important things to learn than how to say hello in a country I'll most likely never visit.carr wrote:WTF?

A-levels are English. Up here in Scotland we do Advanced Highers. No language requirement. Same can be said for the year below.carr wrote:What are the language requirements to complete the A-Levels? (If that is the highest degree of secondary education in the Uk, I'm not sure).

Nah just kidding
I've never been a fan of any European language since i personally feel like their structure is like a pile of shit. And I don't like the sound of French or Spanish in general, so... yeah.

Because the german school system is such a bitch, I had to learn english spanish and french and a bit of latin (wich I had for half a year only so I don't know anything about it).
I think I don't need to stress the fact that it wasn't really effective teaching wich left me with bits and pieces of these languages wich makes it a gift and a curse at the same time ( I do understand a lot though).
Anyway... never been a big fan of either of those languages (excluding english). I just don't see the point in learning them. I can't really think of any realistic scenario in wich I will eventually have to use them instead of english.

Re: Troll Sum 41
Huh. I must be different than all y'all since you don't seem to like language-studies. I've studied Swedish (as all Finnish people do), German, Chinese (mandarin), Japanese and of course English. Languages are cool.
